Largest U.S. refinery returns to normal operation after Texas freeze

The largest U.S. refinery, Motiva Enterprises’ 607,000 barrel-per-day Port Arthur, Texas, plant, returned to normal operations, sources familiar with plant operations said.

The refinery was shut on Feb. 15 when freezing temperatures, rarely seen on the U.S. Gulf Coast, knocked out steam supply.

Motiva began restarting the refinery on Feb. 24.

Motiva did not reply to a request for comment.
